Building the shed - days 2-4 (9/23-26/2007)

Day two was a shorter day, so although it doesn't look like we got much done, we kinda did.

We started on the stick frame for the walls with Susie and i alternating between hammerring the studs. I did a pretty good job on the wood, but Susie kept getting confused by which 'stud' to hammer, so i have bruises all over.







At the end of day 2, we had the two back walls up and in place.



Day 3 didn't see too much progress either - we both had to work a little late, so we only had about an hour to work on the shed. We did get another side up. And get this ... i had looked the night before on craigslist and happened to notice a free vinyl window. I emailed and it was still available, so i went a total of 4 blocks to go pick it up. Ka-ching - freebie window!!! Granted one of the glass panes is broken, but it's dual pane, so we'll need to fix it at some point, but for the immediate future, it keeps rain out.





The end of day 3 saw three walls in place and one window placement ready.





Day 4 was actually just my lunch hour today - i was working from home and was getting a little peeved at some people, so i decided a working lunch was best; just not working for HP. I got the last wall up including the door frame. I have one more trip to make to Home Depot tonight, so i'm off to spend some more money.
